  • Design and Development of a Low-Cost, High Resolution, High Mobility Acceleration Data Logger

    Creator:
    Goins, Justin B.
    Abstract:
    To understand the forces exerted on structures during tsunamis, model cities are subjected to human-generated tsunamis. The study of vertical evacuation, wherein individuals could take refuge in the upper levels of strong buildings, has resulted in a growing need for a low cost wireless acceleration data logger. Such a device...

  • The Design and Implementation of a Motor Controller

    Creator:
    Williamson, Tyler J.
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the design and implementation of a motor controller that is a customizable and cost effective replacement for the motor controllers used by Edwards Robotics Company (ERC). Extensive research of comparable products available in the market was conducted. The research formed the basis for the design specifications of...

  • Design of a Digital to Analog Converter for Implementation in an On‐Chip Calibration Interface

    Creator:
    Przybyla, Richard J.
    Abstract:
    The integration of digital and analog systems on single CMOS integrated circuits will continue to be a major area of research as the consumer market demands low power mobile devices in mass quantity. In prototypical analog integrated systems, calibration is often necessary to achieve the desired performance. In this thesis,...

  • A Study of Sample-and-Hold Circuit with Application to Beat Test and Dual-Slope ADC

    Creator:
    Yang, Bangda
    Abstract:
    This undergraduate thesis provides an overview on analyzing and designing open-loop sampleand- hold (S/H) circuits. It also describes a technique used to verify functions of an S/H circuit known as beat frequency test, as well as an application of S/H circuit, a dual-slope integrating analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The first section...

  • An ultra low power frequency reference for timekeeping applications

    Creator:
    Oporta, Hector Ivan
    Abstract:
    An ultra low power crystal oscillator that provides a frequency reference for battery powered timekeeping applications is presented. An amplitude control circuit is employed to ensure that minimum current is consumed. A subthreshold voltage regulator provides a supply voltage for the oscillator with minimum current consumption. The oscillator and regulator...

  • A comprehensive integration of first year engineering education

    Creator:
    Shuman, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Retention of engineering students is a problem for many universities, especially during the first year. The problem of introducing students to engineering while increasing retention rates has recently been addressed by many different universities. Implementing novel lab structures, adjusting the lecture to incorporate more effective teaching techniques, and using orientation...

  • CAM : a new Circuit Augmentation Method for modeling interconnects and passive components

    Creator:
    Kolstad, Joel W.
    Abstract:
    Contemporary circuit design involves significant computer-based simulation, calling for a balance between circuit model accuracy and simulation run time. Traditionally, circuit modelers concentrated on producing either (1) physically-based models, where each element in the model correlates to a physically meaningful aspect of the device being modeled or (2) mathematically-based "macromodels,"...

  • Design techniques for high-performance digital PLLs and CDRs

    Creator:
    Yin, Wenjing
    Abstract:
    Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) are essential building blocks in many communication systems. Designing high performance analog PLLs in the presence of technology imposed constraints such as leakage, poor analog transistor behavior, process variability, and low supply voltage is a challenging task. To overcome these drawbacks, digital PLLs (DPLLs) have recently emerged...

  • Electrical recommendations and formulas for metal fill in radio-frequency integrated circuits

    Creator:
    Gaskill, Steven
    Abstract:
    With increasing transistor operating frequencies, interconnects and passive devices are becoming performance limiters in integrated circuit (IC) designs. To combat this, the interconnect layers above the active silicon are trending toward low-κ dielectrics and Cu metallization. The use of these new materials has popularized chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to planarize...

  • A direct-drive wave energy converter with contactless force transmission system

    Creator:
    Agamloh, Emmanuel B.
    Abstract:
    Commonly proposed ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) use inefficient and maintenance demanding intermediate hydraulic and pneumatic systems. We propose a novel rotary direct-drive OWEC that eliminates these intermediate stages. The new device employs a contactless force transmission system (CFTS) comprising a “piston” and a “cylinder” and a ball screw to...
